I use Google Analytics to analyze the web traffic to the Syzdekistan website. Like most Google products, it is easy to use and quite elegant. I don’t get a huge amount of traffic nor am I selling anything so I look at the statistics mainly just for fun. Sometimes the searches that people use to find my site are quite entertaining and you have to wonder just exactly what they’re looking for and how disappointed they must be when they get to Syzdekistan:

“odds Harry Potter dies” — What, they think I have an inside scoop?

“Harry Potter Dead Pool” & “bets on Harry Potter Dead Pool” — Just because I live in Vegas, doesn’t make me a bookie.

“How to kill bullfrogs” — There is no wrong way to kill bullfrogs.

“Pregnant hotwife” — Not any more.

“Fastest Crocodile” — On land or in the water. Really, I don’t know.

“Lake Mojave zebra” — Gosh, I certainly hope they are talking about the mussels and not the equines.

“my daughter’s temperature reads 38.1 is this bad” — Depends if it is degrees Fahrenheit, Kelvin, Rankine, or Celsius.

“my great grandfather is 7 ft 0 inches” — Good for him.

“Body pulled from Lake Mead 2007″ — You can’t pin anything on me. I’ve got an alibi for 2007, man.

“Accidental decapitation photos” — I told you, I’ve got an alibi. Anyway, it was an accident, man.

Today, I found this article saying that the pretty and elegant charts for Google Analytics was based on the scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark when Indiana Jones is flying to Nepal and the plane’s route is shown on a map as a red line with a dot showing each city. At least they didn’t get it from a similar scene in Borat.
